You’re welcome! A friend of mine who’s a scout for a MLB team said that Gore is as safe a bet to be a TOR as any pitcher in the minors. He also said that he’d be the best pitcher on the Padres staff right now...including Paddock. I can’t wait for Gore and Paddock to go back to back in the rotation. *next year

Lamet probably better than Paddack as well when he’s on. He was downright unhittable when he’s locating. Now he’s actually gained velo on his fastball. I’m excited to see him this week.

That’s an issue and what lead him to go back to the minors. Needs to get that strike zone in order.

Damn shame.

He may be struggling over the last two weeks or so... but IMO, some people treat him completely different than other prospects in our system. Guys get hot and cold.... he was red hot for most of the year... now he is in a slump.... He is still OPSing over 1.000. He is still only 22 and is projecting to be a far better hitter than he was last year. The best hitter for EP right now is France and he is two years older. The only shame I see is that he has not been given an extended look for the Padres this season.

I sat there and watched Gameday in every inning because LE doesn't televise their games... and if it is accurate... then the Ump had a very tight K-Zone tonight... which makes his performance all the more studly. Promotion?... To the Padres? I am only half-joking. At least he will be on milbtv when he gets to Amarillo.

El Paso: The Chihuahuas have 181 home runs in 85 games this year. They had 142 all of last year ... With Austin Allen hitting his 10th, the Chihuahuas now have nine players with 10+ home runs (including Scavuzzo).

Amarillo: OF Rodrigo Orozco returned to the lineup last night after missing a month with a knee injury.

Lake Elsinore: Allen Cordoba now has enough official at-bats to qualify for the batting title. At .310, he is second in the Cal League to teammate Luis Campusano (.326).

Ft. Wayne: C Blake Hunt is hitting .357 over his last 10 games to raise his average to a season high of .256.

Tri City: LHP Cullen Dana was drafted in the 30th round of the 2016 draft out of Seton Hall, but due to arm problems did not pitch in 2017 or 2018. He has made four appearances so far for TC: 8IP 7H 0R 1BB 11Ks.

Loved watching the Gore highlight... The only problem?.... The Dodgers got an A. The fact that Verdugo is yet another Dodger rookie this year that is producing is no longer astonishing. That is one fantastic franchise and I hate them w/ a passion.
